<p>Thanks to all who cam out to the Edinburgh Castle on Saturday... it was pretty warm early on but as the sun went down and a nice sea breeze came in, it turned into the perfect outdoor gig setting. We are currently finalising a few more gigs and will make some announcements soon... in the meantime, the next BS gig looks to be a return to the excellent Thornbury Local on the 19th of March... check out the gig page for details.</p>

Thanks to all who came out... we have to admit that the Workers Club gig was all a bit last minute so we did struggle to get the word out in time... sorry if you missed it. 2022 will start with a few more gigs.... 1st up on January the 9th is our set with 'Snares and Wires' and 'The Francis Glass Band' at 'The Last Chance Rock and Roll Bar'. This is a Sunday afternoon gig so should be a good time... the venue is right across the road from the Vic Market in Melbourne... a perfect spot to see out the weekend. On the 22nd of January they'll be another BS solo gig at 'The Edinburgh Castle' Brunswick. These Edinburgh Castle gigs are gaining some popularity so please arrive early to secure a good spot in the Beer Garden.

The 'Mystery Band' turned out to be Dave from Ammonia... excellent purveyors of 'wall of sound, melodic power pop'.... I'm now an official fan!

<p>We're putting the final touches on the new Basement Spaceman album and we'll be announcing the 1st single release date shortly. The new set of songs are being mixed by Joel Taylor at the Black Lodge in Brunswick with mastering being taken care of by Joe Carra at Crystal Mastering. We were so pleased that Joe was nominated for a Grammy award earlier this year for his work with the Teskey Bros... yes an actual Grammy award! Both Joe and Joel certainly have the golden ears, so we're looking forward to hearing the finished mixes. The new album will certainly hold a few sonic surprises for those familiar with BS... we think it's our best effort yet! Stay tuned for some release dates.</p>Basement Spacemantag:www.basementspaceman.com,2005:Post/62782162020-04-10T04:40:49-04:002022-05-26T06:05:10-04:00Back working on new album...<p><span class="font_small"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/141451/695ba4a48fa24527abd678a17abdc0482a3de19f/original/b7c9cca9-e699-4cd2-b0c8-2fa8098ea422-2.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_" /></span></p>
<p>Unfortunately but understandably the BS solo gig at the Red Hill Hotel in Chewton was cancelled due to restrictions around the COVID19 situation. This is the first ever BS gig to be cancelled and we hope there can be a resurgence of gig type activity when we crawl back out of the basement in a few months time. </p>
<p>So for now, we're back in the studio recording for the next album. We're about half way through the tracking and looking to release a pre-album 3 or 4 song ep soon. We've got a heap of songs stockpiled... but we're really excited about this new set of songs, it will be a carefully selected set... only the best will make the final cut. Stay tuned for news about release dates. Stay safe BS'rs!!!!!</p>

Escape the city to enjoy this historic venue, great food, craft beer and a BS afternoon show 4pm -6pm. Weather permitting, it looks like it'll be in the courtyard.

<p>Thank you to all who came out to see us in Melbourne, Whangarei and Auckland... we had a blast. It was great to have Vernon Rive unleash on the Keyboards with AJ Bell on bass, it truly gave us another dimension... We spent a day at Marty Duda's loft in Auckland filming and recording a couple of live tracks.. we're working on the editing but you should see something soon. What was you favourite song from the new live set?... let us know... We're hoping to announce some new gig soon.</p>
